LATIN
A dear young lady who calls her-|
self “an
writes in from the College of Mar-
shall to ask if “Latin will help me, or
will the time I spend on it be wast-
ed?” In the first place, young lady,
you should not call yourself an in-
significant sophomore. All sopho-
mores are significant; only freshmen
are entitled to contumely. And as
for the value of Latin, that depends
upon you. If you have a gift for
languages, dead or living, get as
many of them as you can without
too great a tax on the time properly
to be devoted to reading, ritin, and
rithmetic. The Three R’s, you know,
are absolutely essential, and no
amount of top education will com-
pensate for skimping these mudsills
of learning. As a rule, in this prac-
tical age, a live language is more to
be desired than a dead one. Modern
French is more valuable than an-
cient Latin, modern German more in-
teresting and worth while than an-
cient Greek, modern Spanish mor=
pleasurable and profitable that an-
cient Sanskrit. Nevertheless, Latin
is of value to those in search of a
satisfying education. Latin is easy
for some, difficult for others. Those
who lap up Latin like a kittie lifts
the cream should go on with it un-
til they can read the Roman class-
ics in the original—granting that
they will want to and are able to
spare the time, which is doubtful.
Those to whom Latin is difficult and
uninteresting are wasting their time
when pretending to study it, provid-
ed they would employ their time in
other studies, - Time spent on Latin
in any case is better used than when
spent in idleness. Some several
practical people scoff at all education
which has not a materialistic base,
meaning a menetary value in terms
of earning power. That is not the
right attitude toward learning, al-
though the practical or material
should have weight in all close de-
cisions. An erudite mind, a well-
insignificant sophomore”
stored memory, a familiarity with
the great of all ages, are incomput- |
ably valuable to their
They have a value which the ma- |
terialists never rightly appraise be- |
cause they never understand it. State
Press, himself a materialist and |
practicalist, says this on his own |
authority, although he will not grant
it any of the insignia of a fixed prin-
ciple. And so, dear young lady, if so |
hap you aspire to be a stenographer |
it is very much more important that |
you learn English thoroughly than
that you acquire a smattering of
Latin. If you intend to be a histor-
ian, an archeologist, a translator or|
a cultured housewife devoted to cul- |
ture for its own sake, you should |
know Latin as adequately as modern |
schools can teach it. Confessedly, |
this is a poor answer to your pointed |
question, dear girl, but it is about as |
POSSessor.
